Desperate Video Games
I don't know h
ow many of you have heard about this yet, but the popular TV series "Desperate Housewives" went PC. The video game company, Buena Vista Games, introduced their sim-like computer game to the world this last September. The video game website EBGames.com allows its customers and non-customers alike to give their personal ratings of video games which two people did post for this game giving the game a 4 1/2 star rating. That doesn't say much for the game considering it is only two people's opinions but its a good start for this female geared video game.
The idea of the game is that you are a new housewife on the block, who you get to personalize, along with your husband and son. The plot is forwarded by the twist that your character is suffering from amnesia and you have to uncover secrets about your neighbors and yourself. All of the main characters from the show are in the game as well for you to talk to, harrass, steal their husbands and even slap.
Mary Schuyler, the producer of the title at Buena Vista Games feels that "As fans of the show would expect, the game is loaded with gossip, betrayal, murder and sex — you know, all the things women like."
In my opinion this game is gonna suck hard! I've never liked the show and never saw the point in those sims games in the first place. The graphics are terrible and the plot sounds like a friggin soap opera! And this game is supposedly playable for ages 13 and up, so now you have little
girls slapping their neighbors and whorring the neighborhood for other women's husbands... that sounds like a smart idea!! What kind of example is that supposed to be setting, that its not only ok to ruin people's lives but its FUN TOO!!! What's next? Porn Star games for children 13 and up!?! (Hmmmm.... don't tell anyone, I can probably make millions off of that idea haha!)
So why was this game produced anyway?? The show is supposively popular, why a video game? Is it getting to the point that video game companys like this one, Buena Vista Games that I've never heard of but are apparently successful, are so DESPERATE themselves that they are clinging to the bandwagon success of the show? If you're gonna make a video game like this at least make the graphics somewhat decent so guys will at least buy it to control the hot chicks of the show. That might sound like petty reasoning but it's the truth!
